I’m so sorry you went through this. I had similar experiences with extreme judgment from medical staff w/o any help offered. It really must get better, the guilt and shaming is ridiculous! Fed is best and all that matters

Sending strength … soft plays are one of the most awful things of parenthood. We all think we will never go, but then it’s the weekend and it rains

You probably know about this but just in case - Canada has “Research Impact” chairs for world leading researchers interested in coming to Canada

Dream count by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichi ; also ”tomorrow, tomorrow and tomorrow” by Gabrielle Zevin and non fiction I read “careless people” which was kind of disturbing but gripping! Currently re-reading philip pulman book of dust in anticipation of putting the final instalment on my Christmas list!

So happy to see this out! We have data on 5,000+ voters and 26,000 candidates exploring the effects of sexism across 4 countries 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇧🇦🇺 TLDR: gendered patterns of political competition strongly shape success rates of women candidates. Sexism may lead to voter abstention in the US. More in the paper!

This looks like a brilliant and super interesting book - if you’re lucky enough to be in London UK and interested in gender / quotas / comparative politics / LA or all of the above you should go to the launch!

Misschien zijn ze bang dat het electoraal moeilijk ligt en verwachten ze binnenkort een verkiezing? Of een soort trauma van de euro crisis 🤔? Maar ja.. rationeel is het niet

I think we should take this story from the Times today (and picked up by many other outlets) with an enormous pinch of salt for two reason (mini thread): www.thetimes.com/uk/media/art...

With our first child my husband and I took shared parental leave (SPL) in the UK - it was a great experience, but financially costly. It shouldn't be that way in my view. So take the opportunity to share your experiences with SPL with the gov. here: committees.parliament.uk/committee/32...

Sadly I don’t have tips - never written a book 😬 but given the big populism/radical right scholarly community in the Netherlands there must be lots of interest I would think!

So sorry ❤️ this was me in 2023 and it’s hard. Hoping you can find some space for yourself in the midst of it - and know that it’s ok not to keep all balls in the air during these times.
